The New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman, sits in Mamaroneck, NY in Westchester County and gives older adults a place where they can get care that fits their needs, because they make a personalized care plan for each person. They've been around a long time and people know them for how they help the community and for their history. The healthcare staff includes doctors, nurses, nurse aides, licensed clinical social workers, therapists, and pharmacists, all working to provide care almost all day, every day, which helps ensure patients get the support they need for both short-term and long-term stays. There's a special focus on rehabilitation and recovery for folks who've been in the hospital for an illness, injury, or surgery, and the therapists and skilled staff work to help people regain strength and independence, using state-of-the-art therapy gyms and equipment. There are also Small House communities using the Green House model, so some people live more like in a home instead of a hospital, with care and therapy that suits their own needs.
The campus has adult day care for older adults who want to be active and get care while still living at home, with a range of activities like writing classes, music programs, and discussions; patients also have private time with Wi-Fi in all the rooms. There are relaxing gardens, a library, and shared spaces for socializing or quiet time. Every patient gets a licensed clinical social worker who helps them and their families understand benefits, services, and care coordination. The New Jewish Home works as part of the Montefiore Collaborative, which means patients can move across care settings more easily, and they also partner with Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in Westchester for specialized rehab services. They keep a close watch on medication safety, and have strong infection control, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Other services like Solutions at Home® include home health aides and care managers for people who want to recover or get care at home, and they have assisted living services in the Bronx, as well as adult day care in both Manhattan and the Bronx. Their care covers skilled nursing, post-acute care, and rehabilitation, and they give support to help older adults recover, go home if possible, and keep their dignity, aiming to make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and included.
